Key Responsibilities

• Lead & Inspire: Manage a team that needs strong leadership, vision, and motivation.

• New Business Growth: Proactively win major consumer PR clients-think Levi's over Prada, music sponsorships over corporate PR.

• Creative & Commercial Strategy: Develop standout PR campaigns that integrate traditional press with influencers and partnerships.

• Media & Influencer Network: Be well-connected with editors, brands, and influencers, securing high-profile media coverage and partnerships.

• Hands-On Execution: While leadership is key, you must also be willing to roll up your sleeves and get involved in pitching and strategy when needed.

What We're Looking For

• A strategic PR leader with experience in lifestyle, consumer, or soft fashion PR.

• Proven track record of leading high-profile brand campaigns and securing top-tier media coverage and partnerships.

• Strong new business drive-able to win and convert new clients and scale the PR division.

• Creative thinker & problem solver, balancing brand storytelling, partnerships, and influencer collaborations.

• Someone who can rally the team, ignite enthusiasm, and lead both internally and externally.

Why Join?
